This project is the continuation of an ongoing REU site at DIMACS (Rutgers University). Undergraduate students recruited from across the nation participate in summer research projects relating to foundations and applications of theoretical computer science. Each year, the program recruits 10 outstanding undergraduate students from diverse groups including women, underrepresented groups, and non-research institutions. A strong point of this site is the experience and expertise of the mentoring team, which has been able to produce valuable research experiences and excellent research publications in the past. Many past students have gone on to pursue successful research careers.The site offers a wide variety of projects ranging from theoretical topics such as circuit complexity, graph matching, and error-correcting codes to more applied topics such as robot planning, active learning, security and privacy. It also offers socially relevant projects such as food webs, analyzing immune-tumor interactions, and genome folding. Many of these are leading-edge research projects that not only develop students' research skills but also give them exposure to respective research areas. The students also benefit from DIMACS industry partners in the region. The project will lead to publishable research and contribute to building the future work force.

该项目是在DIMACS（罗格斯大学）正在进行的REU网站的延续。从全国各地招募的本科生参加与理论计算机科学的基础和应用有关的夏季研究项目。每年，该计划从不同群体中招募10名优秀的本科生，包括女性，代表性不足的群体和非研究机构。该网站的一个优点是指导团队的经验和专业知识，他们在过去能够产生宝贵的研究经验和优秀的研究出版物。许多过去的学生已经继续追求成功的研究事业。该网站提供了各种各样的项目，从理论主题，如电路复杂性，图形匹配和纠错码到更多的应用主题，如机器人规划，主动学习，安全和隐私。它还提供与社会相关的项目，如食物网，分析免疫-肿瘤相互作用和基因组折叠。其中许多都是前沿的研究项目，不仅培养学生的研究技能，还让他们接触到各自的研究领域。学生们还受益于该地区的DIMACS行业合作伙伴。该项目将导致可持续的研究，并有助于建设未来的劳动力。
